After trying to rebuild a ROM (NAFT's v3.0) by adding rilphone.dll file to it. Everything went well when I did it with NAFT's v2.3, but when I tried it on v3.0, my phone just stop at the AT&T World Phone screen... I did a hard reset by Pressing Volume Down + Enter + soft reset, but it still stuck at the AT&T screen.
I can still go into the boot screen, but I dont' know what I can do now.
Please help.
IS there a way to load a new ROM from the Bootscreen?
Load the ROM NBH file to your SD Card under the name RAPHIMG.NBH
Enter the Boot Screen and it should start Flashing the ROM.
Enter bootloader, plug the usb cord in, wait for usb to show up on the tri color screen, flash different rom.
Alternatively, you could enter bootloader and follow the directions for flashing from SD card.
Search for it.
Next reply will probably be by someone telling you to search for these questions first, and then someone will make a comment about your somewhat simple question for someone with your post count, and then a mod will say 'redundant thread closed'.
Good luck.
Copy a ROM to your root of your SD card /Storage Card. Rename the ROM file RAPHIMG.nbh
Then go to the bootloader. Should ask you to flash the ROM. Press the power button to begin flashing.
You could also try flashing the Stock ROM that came with you device via your pc with your device in the bootloader. Hook your device up to your pc in the bootloader it will say Serial or USB. If it's USB you should be able to flash as normal.
just like fox, ATW and navy said..
whenever u run into an issue like that..flash from ur SD
80% of the time it works.
ive been in ur situation before..its pretty ****ty..but u can bounce back real quick
Late,

I follow the first advice... put it in boot screen and reflash the new ROM... hope this will work, crossing my fingers... Thanks guys for the very quick reply... it's flashing as we speak.
It seems to be working now... thanks guys.
Got so scared... I must give up the Call Display project... sounds too dangerous
same reason why i stopped messsing with the dialers on M2D
one to many things went wrong and i gave that up real quick..
but what ive learned..over time..
theres always a FIX..just gotta look for it.

It wasn't easy to search went you find out that you've just lost $500 because of a stupid step you did
However, I tried to manage myself to search through the forum for the words "Brick" "Unbrick" and "Flash ROM through Storage Card"... and I thought the world was ending, so I go for the last hope by posting a help thread
Thank and I love you all
hi all, i would like to ask you for a help with my vibrant. I just purchased it and successfully made the root and unlock. I managed to do both even tho my hardware button keys does not support the recovery mode. Any holding of the buttons will not allow the phone to go to recovery mode, this is not working even with an odin. After i did the root and unlock i downloaded the rom manager, created a clockwork image and back up i tried to make the partition of my 16gb SD card using the rom manager. After this my phone restarted but after t mobile logo and galaxy s logo the phone screen stays black. Tried all thee methods to go into the recovery mode but was not able to do it. i searched this forum also but was not able to find similar case to this one. i would be very thankful for any advice.
You'll have to get T-Mo to exchange it.

thanks to this instructions i was able to use odin but this did not change the satus of my phone?????
unfortunately cant i did not buy it in the store
NEVER use rom manager to partition your SD card. Try the steps in this thread
thank you, trying to do it now
a friend of mine bricked his phone and it boot up to the "S" screen then go black after a min. i flashed it using oden and the T959UVJFD file but i got the same results when trying to boot up again. it wasn't my phone and i had already sent the guy to get a new one, but i just started flashing it with all the vibrant oden roms i could find... non of them worked. i really didnt care any more so i was just playing around with the phone and flashed a i9000 rom, of corse it didnt work but when i flashed it back with the T959UVJFD file it worked.... i dont know if it would work out for you i just wanted to share the story... good luck
thank you, unfotunatelly i am stuck with HW keys problem againm!!!!
i follow the steps from the post 4 from @Alkaloid and now from dead i am at froyo and will hang here for a while cause at least for a week dont want to flash nothing. Boy what a day, 12 hours fixing this samsung!!!
Ivuso, how did you get in to download mode? I tried everything from every single thread here that mentions how to get in to download mode..
Odin is the way to go..it saved me too

how did u manage to do that
You do not have to exchange it the same thing happened to me. You just need to use odin to flash the stock rom onto it. Its really easy. Youtube it
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
if you have the hardware keys lock the only way to get to download modwe is through odin. For me worked this.
start odin, fil pit and pda
remove battery
usb in the computer
hold volume buttons
put battery in - phone is showing just the battery charging status
disconnect usb and than fast connect back
now you are able to flash froyo from the the 4th post in this thread, once finished you will be in download mode but need to reboot with adb cause hardwate "enter" button will not work
GOODLUCK
okay i had a completely stock vibrant.. rooted it, then installed axure ROM to it.. was loving it.. and wanted to see if i could make it better by installing ryanza's OCLF.. well it DOESNT say anywhere around axures ROM that OCLF cant be installed... so apparently it messed up the playlogos and wouldnt get past the vibrant screen on bootup... well i asked somebody what i should do.. they told me that i should installed jac's oc/uv colorfix with voodoo to fix it, because they said my kernel was screwed up... well now when my phone is started up, it brings up the vibrant screen then it instantly goes to the system recovery mode....
so i can NOT get into ROM manager to flash a new rom or whatever i need to do... i do NOT have SDK installed... but i can use ODIN..
can someone PPLLEEAASSEE tell me how to restore the playlogos files (if thats whats wrong) or whatever i need to do to get back to just axures ROM and thats it...
and i also dont want someone to just tell me where to go, because iv done that WWAAYY too many times, and i always end up getting the wrong thing ODIN'd to my phone... will someone please give me the webpage and the name of the PIT and PDA... i need help... QUICK... its my business phone and cant make money without it... i need help PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What business?
Anyways, use Odin and Eugene's famous "Froyo that does not brick". Then use Odin to flash the stock firmware. Then get a blackberry lol

Here is a couple of methods to get into download mode. Once you get to download mode, follow the directions later in my post...
First Method
1) Pull the battery, sim card, and sd card.
2) Reinsert battery but do not press any buttons.
3) Plug into usb that is connected to your computer. If something shows up on the screen (charging logo) then you should be golden.
4) Hold the vol up, vol down, and power until the screen comes on, immediately release the power button but not the other two. You should be in dl mode.
Second Method
1) Another method that seems to work for some people is to pull the battery, sim, sd card.
2) Reinsert battery and hold both volume buttons but do not press power button.
3) Then plug in usb. The phone should boot into download.
Third Method
1) You will need the samsung ADB drivers installed for your phone and ADB.
Samsung Drivers for 32 bit Windows: http://files.androidspin.com/downlo...=SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_x86.exe
Samsung Drivers for 64 bit Windows: http://files.androidspin.com/downlo...ung/vibrant/&file=usb_drivers_GalaxyS_x64.zip
2) Remove sim card and sd-card. Remove the battery.
3) Hold buttons vol up, vol down, and power.
4) While holding down those 3 buttons put the battery back in and keep holding all 3 buttons until the vibrant disappears and reappears. Once it reappears, release all 3 buttons.
5) Now connect your phone to your pc via USB cable.
6) Open a cmd prompt and navigate to the folder with ADB and type "ADB REBOOT DOWNLOAD" caps are not necessary.
7) Your phone will reboot into the download mode.
Once in download mode
Download the files in the linked thread and follow the directions there or the ones below.
Odin and Files Needed Available Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475
1) Open Odin and verify that one of the Com ports shows a device connected. If it doesn't try using a different usb port.
2) Load the .pit and pda files. It should be pretty obvious how to do that once you are in Odin.
3) Make sure that the option to partition is unchecked. The other two options should be checked.
4) Hit start and wait.
5) Your phone will restart when Odin is done and you will be good to go.
Also, you might have to build the usb jig. It is guaranteed to get you into download mode. Here is a link to that thread:

Its hard to say what the possible cause could be, it could range anywhere to bad file downloads for what you were using to unbrick ( I assume you were using odin) all the way to hardware failure. I personally have never had that problem but if for whatever reason you aren't able to get your phone working again complain to samsung as it was their software that messed up your phone.

thats true ive already tried complaining to tmobile but samsung would say the same thing because i bought the phone off of ebay so i dont have any warranties i really hope that this method u showed me can help
This method will get you back to stock. IF you want to update through minikies, then you will probably have to update to Ji6 first after doing this But this will resolve your problems
1. Download Eugenes 'Froyo that does not brick' file.
2. Extract the files.
3. Open Odin, plug in your phone, then put it into download mode.
4. load the PIT file in appropriate area.
5. load the .tar file in the PDA area.
6. DO NOT check 're-partition'.
7. Click start, let it finish. Your phone will load and reboot into stock recovery. It will error out again. DONT panic! This is what's supposed to happen.
8. Now, pull your battery.
9. Load the JFD rom for the vibrant'.
10. Extract the files.
11. Once again, open Odin, plug in your phone, put into download mode.
12. Load the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.
13. THIS TIME you want to check the 're-partition' box.
14. Now click start, let it finish, and this time your phone will load up just fine!
15. Then, root the phone and you can flash your new Rom.
doing this method will get everything back to normal and the phone will work just like it did right out of the box
also i would like to add that i have been trying odin i havent got any sleep at all trying to fix this phone ODIN SUX and im a bit upset that ive tried this over and over and it does work..
it wants me to get into usb debugging mode how do i do that if i cant get the phone to cut on?/
sigh now i got red text and the phone wont go into download mode again can anyone please help mee??/
Also, you will need to pull the sim and the sd card 1st before Odin back as long as Odin recognizes the phone you are ok, if Odin gives you problems you may want to try heimdall it works the same but sometimes just using a different program helps.
mr okal can u pls send me links to your method pls idk where to get the files

hold vol up and power only from a powered off state. this should bring you to a screen with red-orange writting. from there hold down vol up\down and power and that should bring you to dl mode. from there you need to use eugenes froyo that doesnt brick.
ive tried that already idk if i have the right eugenes froyo file but i got the phone to turn on and it does exactly what i told u guys it boots up and everything is ok except usb mode and my computer doesnt recognize it at all then once i turn the phone off it doesnt come back on unless i try the unbricking method all over again
it also whipes everything i had saved away.. Can someoen pls assist me with this?
i called samsung they offered to fix it because i have a warranty but there has to be a way to fix this at home i need my phone now to be honest. samsung will take forever to fix this and ship back..

***head desk*** you need to odin to stock jfd not unbrickable froyo. You ccan flash eugenes stuff after you go back to stock 2.1 . Use the links I provided earlier for odin then use the steps others have listed to get into DOWNLOAD mode. Then flash with odin

dude i understand what ur saying and u might be getting frustrated by my post but ur not understanding what im saying i have DONE everything that i was told .. the phone boots up just like if it was brand new but once i turn it off it wont turn back on unless i reflash it to stock all over again so what is the problem here do you understand my problem better now?
I have a vibrant that i some how Bricked and have tried and tried to get back to stock and have had no luck. I am getting a mbr Checksum error. and something about not able to wipe. I have looked at other threads and followed them but still getting the boot and black screen with buttons lit up.
Please forgive me like i said i am new to this and any advice would help. I feel stupid when it comes to this but what can i say. If any way possible please help with links to what i need to do.

You need to use ODIN to get back to stock. Have you tried that?

Ok I'll walk you through this. First download vibrant tool box
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954509
Next pull battery. hold both volume buttons and plug in your usb cord. This should put you in download mode. once there choose flash stock in tool box and it will walk you through the steps to flash stock back on there. Once done you can use it to root your phone and flash whatever custom ROM you want.
If you need more help PM me. I'm not as big of a noob as I use to be =)

u might b doing something wrong because i had the exact same problem and they told me to odin and i didnt know what was that and they guided me and its really simple..... jst open odin...... get your fone in download mode... choose the PIT file and then the PDA file and select them in the right place..... but before you do all of that check if your fone is regiterd with a yellow box on ODIN.. once the box turns yellow it means that your fone is connected then hit start once you selected the appropiate files and then it should b doing its job... thats all i do and it never fails me..... if you think you dont have the right files ill email them to you so u can download them and put them in there.....
